Only now is the penny finally starting to drop. Only now is the reality of Malcolm Turnbull P.M. beginning to sink in.

Firstly Malcolm Turnbull has never led his Party to victory at the polls.

Like Gillard before him he achieved his lofty post like a thief in the night, putting the knife straight between Tony Abbott's shoulders.

Abbott drew polarised positions from people. However, what he said he would deliver he did.  Within days of gaining office 'The boats stopped'. The plague of Country Shoppers plugged the Pirates of Indonesia put back where they came from.

Abbott never ran from a battle but the one thing he couldn't run from was the consistent and insistent white anting campaign carried out by Turnbull and his cohorts.

Ever the smooth smiling assassin Turnbull waited and moved when Abbott ran into stormy weather.

Now we have 12,000 Syrians coming here, forever to bleed off the largesse  of the Australian Taxpayer to the tune of 885 million dlrs a year.

And yet we have this same self Government crying because it can't make budget and dwells Labor like in deficit.

Turnbull's bowing and scraping to the United Nations is cringeworthy. If you have something to say over there Malcolm, get up off your knees to do it.

One can only begin to wonder what else Turnbull has in store for this Country but I tell you now, they will be bitter pills to swallow.

....have you got that elevator at the train station yet snoopy?  :D

Off subject but I'll answer you with this Swagman and little birdie told me that Baird's long game is to sell the Blue Mountains Rail net to private enterprise...that sounds about right for Baird a flimflam man if ever I saw one.

WE have about as much hope for elevators for the disabled as an ice cubes hope in hell under Baird.

Now...can we get back on thread?

.......I thought they sold off the Zig Zag years ago?

Thus says Aussie The UBER TRAGIC

It was abbott that said we should take 12000 Syrians, wasn’t it?

Jovial Monk, you are correct, Abbott did indeed authorise 12,000 Syrians to come here. My apologies for misleading, genuine error on my part.

I stand by the rest of the post.

just think RB if your had shortarse up there it would be 20.00 Syrians.....Abbott said those treated the worst meaning Christians would be considered first and foremost.. and quite a few redneck lefties on here screamed like banshies.....

as far as I know nothing has been changed...although I do believe muslims are in the first batch.. for years now the Left have complained the Libs dont do enough for asylum seekers.. or refugees whatever they are called these days..

and now its 12000 is too many.. what about the 50.,000 krudd allowed in.???

as for the UN>.. it was krudd who spent zillions on getting us a seat on the UN....

its was Labors idea it was their main goal ...

what bowing and scrapin gis he doing????>..

that upsets you?...

dont tell me its talking to SYria and ISIS>.. ::) ::) ::)

no really!

at least these 12000 will come in via the proper channels and not thanks to people smugglers..

and its out take of refugees anyway only this time they have said from Syria....and not Sri Lan ka.. ::) ::) ::)

we are obliged to take so many per year...because of the UN charter..

why are you so suddenly irate???

Wow, this has to be one of the most delusional threads I have ever read. Tony delivered? The whole reason he lost all his political capital was because he failed to deliver what he promised.  The 12,000 - a tony policy. And what bowing to the UN?

Agreed although Julia Gillard won an election in her own right. Perhaps Malcolm will still achieve this!!!

Indonesia are wearing the brunt of Australian domestic policy. It is only because of Australia's double standards there are any asylum seekers in Indonesia at all!!!

The exact same thing Julia Gillard endured from Rudd and Turnbull is now experiencing from Abbott....Abbott has been treated no different to everyone else including Turnbull!!!

Yes, I didn’t say you lied, just thought you were wrong.

Some people call Malcolm “left wing” AS IF! He has a high proportion of gay people in his electorate so he makes soothing sounds on a couple social issues—but kept abbotts stupid policy about a plebiscite.

turncoat has betrayed our future prosperity, condemned us to second class by destroying the real NBN. He is as rightwing a neocon as abbott, just more articulate. I believe he will lead the Libs to an even bigger loss at the next election than abbott would have. And the Libs will deserve that.

No Swagman but I am about to write to him and ask him not to rack his cue just yet.

Politics is a funny game as Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard will testify to ;)

He achieved his post in the normal way: there was a party vote, and he won.

The electorate chooses the party they want to govern the country, and the party chooses their leader (who, if in the governing party, becomes Prime Minister).

Parties can change their leaders at any time.

Why do so many people in this forum struggle with these simple facts?

Basically because they vote as though they have a say. The vote for the local member because they are of that party AND knowing it will get the leader into the PM position, in some people's minds the local vote is a vote for the PM.

Effectively they attempting to use the election system for something it wasn't supposed to do.

Exactly.

Tony Abbott was not a total failure; he was a victim of a concentrated and vindictive campaign to pull him down by the Turnbull Camp.

It is hard to remember your original intention was to drain the swamp when you are up to your arse in alligators.

Since Turnbull took over, this Country has lurched to the left. Why bother considering voting in Labor next time? They already have a Labor Prime Minister by any other name, sitting there right now.

Thanks Aussie, I'll try very, very hard not to repeat myself.

Oh...by the by...here are a few samples from our resident Uberologist the inimitable Aussie:


Just checked my Uber app for the Sunshine Coast.  'No cars available.'

What you 'feel' is the vibration of the knocking on your front door.  Some men in white coats want to see you.

I am not in NSW.

Just how stupid do you really believe I am?

No.  There is no need for you to know

If you can't bare to face facts which do not line up with your agenda, there is little point in having a discussion with you

cods, there are plenty of Uber nasty stories, just like this one:


I tells ya....it will all end in tears!  No doubt about it.

Try Black & White Cabs in Brisbane.....and would you like fries with that?

Aug 11th, 2015 at 2:07pm    
Further...on that point that you have insurance.  Your premiums are likely to rise if Uber gets a real hold as there will then be a greater risk as more uninsured cars will be on the road and likely to damage your property.

Yet, Uber is facing many legal hurdles and driver revolts there.  Do not get sucked in by the spin.

What's that saying about GLASS HOUSES and people living IN THEM AUSSIE? ;) ;) ;) ;)
